Italian translation, Radical Gardening, now published

I am pleased to announce that an Italian translation of my 2011 book Radical Gardening has just been published, by the Turin-based autonomous press Nautilus.

They have kept the English title, and added a revised Italian sub-title (the word ‘utopia’ figures, which is not in the original): Radical Gardening: Politiche, Utopia, Rebellion nell’Orto e nel Giardino.

Going back three or four years (possibly more) to when Nautilus first contacted me, I think originally I said they could translate one or two chapters of my text, and a piece of journalism I’d written about the book, and print these as a booklet—I haven’t seen the edition they have produced yet but it looks quite long. Here’s the rear cover blurb:

I hope for some new readers, gardeners and activists in Italy, and to hear from them about what they are doing. It would be great to consider radical gardening in the context of the wonderful Italian garden tradition and its legacies.
